Huo Yuhao's Stubborn Head, Wang Dong Arrives

"You brat, you really are impossible to read."

Mu En finally cast a meaningful glance at Chu Feng, his tone deep and lingering.

"Thank you for the compliment, old man."

Chu Feng nodded in agreement and headed straight back to his dormitory.

Evening.

Under the treatment of the academy teachers, Huo Yuhao had regained consciousness, though he would need another day or two to fully recover.

Meanwhile, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was already pacing frantically inside Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness, cursing up a storm.

"Damn it, damn it!! To think someone actually dared to bully my Yuhao! Just because the tiger doesn't show its claws, they think I'm a worm! I'm so pissed off!!"

"Huo Yuhao! Why didn't you call for me back then? As long as I made a move, no matter how vast that guy's Sea of Consciousness was, I could have shredded it to pieces!"

Hearing the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's ranting, Huo Yuhao felt a warmth in his heart.

"Brother Sky Dream, I'm sorry. I didn't expect that guy's mental power to be so immense..."

Thinking back to Chu Feng's Sea of Consciousness, Huo Yuhao still felt a lingering fear.

Such a terrifying Sea of Consciousness, while not as vast as what he had faced when he first encountered the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, still felt like an insurmountable mountain to him.

"Hmph, I'll forgive you this time, but you must call me next time! Otherwise, I'll never let you hear the end of it!" the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm huffed.

Huo Yuhao was the Child of Destiny it had chosen; if he were to perish unexpectedly, it would be dragged down to the grave with him!

With Huo Yuhao's dim-witted personality, he might just go off and get himself killed if he wasn't watched closely.

I can't sleep so soundly next time, or I'll end up buried with this idiot before I even wake up... The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm warned itself secretly, resolving to come out more often to ensure Huo Yuhao didn't kick the bucket.

Fortunately, luck was on their side this time. Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness had been reinforced by the silkworm, and since the Mental Shock Huo Yuhao released wasn't particularly powerful, the backlash hadn't caused permanent damage.

Of course, there was another reason: Huo Yuhao's opponent hadn't actively counterattacked, relying purely on defense. Otherwise, Huo Yuhao would have been in a coma for at least half a year.

"I know, I know, it won't happen again next time..." Huo Yuhao promised hurriedly.

Reflecting on it, he had indeed been reckless.

But if he had to choose again, he would still do it, because he couldn't swallow this insult.

What he hated most was that high-and-mighty, arrogant attitude Chu Feng displayed!

They were both freshmen, both spirit masters—what gave him the right to look down on him?

Just you wait!

The river flows east for thirty years, then west for thirty years. This humiliation today, I, Huo Yuhao, will surely repay a hundredfold in the future!

Huo Yuhao swore silently in his heart!

He had the help of the million-year spirit beast, Brother Sky Dream. Although his foundation was slightly lacking, he believed in Brother Sky Dream, and he believed in himself. In the future, he would stand at the pinnacle of the continent and make everyone who bullied him pay the price!

"Bang—"

Just then, the door to the infirmary was pushed open violently. A pink figure rushed in—it was Tang Ya, followed by Bei Bei.

Because Huo Yuhao had been sent in by the Tang Sect, the academy teachers had notified Bei Bei and Tang Ya immediately.

"Little Yuhao! Are you alright?"

Tang Ya rushed to the bedside, her face full of worry as she looked at the frail Huo Yuhao.

"Yuhao, who bullied you? To dare bully someone from our Tang Sect—Senior Brother will definitely seek justice for you!" Bei Bei was also filled with indignation.

"Sister Tang Ya, Senior Brother Bei Bei, I'm fine... I've caused you trouble..." Seeing Tang Ya and Bei Bei's genuine concern, Huo Yuhao felt an immense sense of warmth and happiness. This feeling of being cared for was wonderful; seeing Tang Ya reminded him of his mother—it felt like home...

"Yuhao, what nonsense are you spouting? You're one of our Tang Sect!"

"Exactly, tell us who bullied you, and we'll get justice for you!"

"That's right, our Tang Sect isn't to be trifled with. Whoever bullies our people, I won't let them off!"

Tang Ya and Bei Bei spoke one after another, righteous and furious.

After all, they had rushed over the moment they heard Huo Yuhao was injured, and they truly didn't know who he had fought.

"Thank you for your kindness, Sister Tang Ya and Senior Brother, but I want to take revenge myself. I don't want to cause you any more trouble." Although he was weak, Huo Yuhao's tone was incredibly firm.

Even though he had just enrolled, he knew the school rules: senior students were strictly forbidden from attacking juniors, or they would be expelled. That was the rule of Shrek Academy, and no one was exempt.

He didn't want his own affairs to bring trouble to Tang Ya and Bei Bei. He was already satisfied that they had come to visit him.

Seeing Huo Yuhao so insistent, Bei Bei and Tang Ya exchanged glances, their hearts aching, but they didn't know what else to say.

"Yuhao, rest easy. We'll help you ask for leave from Teacher Zhou Yi." Tang Ya continued to comfort him, though a shadow of worry lingered in her heart.

After all, that was Zhou Yi. And since Huo Yuhao was asking for leave because he had been fighting—and as a freshman at that—given Zhou Yi's temper, she usually kicked such disobedient students out of her class. Huo Yuhao would likely be made an example of, and he might be packing his bags after the very first lesson.

Bei Bei was also worried. He was even considering whether to use his connections to transfer Huo Yuhao to another class. Huo Yuhao's spirit power was already weak, and his physique was at an extremely low level; he simply wouldn't survive the Devil Training of that old hag, Zhou Yi.

They had also learned of Huo Yuhao's condition: his physical injuries had already healed, but the mental trauma would require several days to recover.

They knew Huo Yuhao's temperament well; while his unyielding, never-say-die spirit was commendable, it wasn't worth the cost of his own health. Huo Yuhao had undoubtedly suffered damage to his sea of consciousness from overusing Mental Detection, which was the most troublesome part.

Upon hearing that Bei Bei and Tang Ya wanted to request leave on his behalf, Huo Yuhao shook his head and said calmly, "There is no need for leave. I am a new student, and asking for leave on the first day will leave a bad impression on the teacher. I am going to class."

Hearing this, Bei Bei and Tang Ya's expressions darkened instantly.

Class? What kind of damn class?

If it were any other teacher, it might be fine, but this was Zhou Yi. She didn't care if you were a good student; if you couldn't complete her Devil Training, you weren't fit to study at Shrek Academy and would be told to pack your bags and leave immediately.

Tang Ya and Bei Bei tried to persuade him for a long time, but they couldn't move Huo Yuhao. Helpless, the two left the Medical Room, intending to go directly to Zhou Yi to explain the situation, hoping she would give the Tang Sect some face.

At this moment, Chu Feng's roommate, Wang Dong, was on the road...
